477, military rank (above)
"Son-in-law, how did you make it possible for your soldiers to fight in the chaotic night? I've heard that it looks like you have a soldier put a few black dots on the collar of his clothes, and then all the soldiers are able to command and wave like an arm. How did you do it, teach my father-in-law! If it weren't for the chaos just now, the soldiers would not be able to find the generals, and the generals would not be able to find their own soldiers, so they would be all messed up and unable to resist. Cheng Yanjin said.
Cheng Yanjin found that his troops were all very chaotic just now, so he immediately turned to Jingwen for help, hoping that Jingwen could give him a way to make his soldiers obey the command well. And Cheng Yanjin remembered that Jingwen took advantage of the night to sneak attack the Turks, and he was also able to command flexibly, which made everyone very puzzled. They had only heard that there were black spots on the soldiers' collars so that they could follow orders, but they didn't know what was going on. Therefore, now Cheng Yanjin has also begun to ask questions.
"Father-in-law, this is actually just a method I use to clarify my command. When the soldiers are in chaos, it is difficult to find their own commanders, so I mark the ranks of those grassroots commanders on the collars, and then if there is confusion, I can find high-ranking officers in time, so that they can obey the orders of the nearest officer and continue to fight and carry out tasks. And this can effectively solve the problem that soldiers cannot find generals and will not be able to find soldiers. Jingwen said.
"Oh? You say you can let the soldiers form new troops on their own in times of chaos and then continue to resist? Li Shimin asked.
Li Shimin is only now attaching importance to this issue, and if he can set up a temporary command system in times of chaos, it will be of great benefit to the army. Once on the battlefield, many times it is very chaotic, especially the jumpers and cavalry. Once they become confused, I am afraid that the soldiers and officers will not recognize them. But there are so many people in an army, where can they find their own officers or subordinate soldiers for a while? And other officers in the ancient army could not command soldiers who did not belong directly to themselves, which caused the fact that there were soldiers in front of them. But the affiliation is not with you, but you can't transfer it. And this brings a great waste of human resources, which is very fatal in the chaotic battlefield. The enemy can take advantage of this opportunity to attack you, but your command system is not in place, so you can only be slaughtered.
The reason why Jingwen set up a temporary military rank system was to allow soldiers to not be chaotic in the dark night and to organize themselves to resist. And this is not the system of the Tang Dynasty, it is just something that Jingwen came up with temporarily, and it can't be counted. After the end of the war, the system was completely dead. But I didn't expect it to be brought up again now, and Li Shimin paid attention to it.
"Your Majesty, this is the military rank system that the minister came up with. In the chaos of the battlefield, the low-ranking people see that the high-ranking ones must obey the command. In this way, they can have command in the chaotic battlefield, so that they can first organize and protect themselves, and then they can even continue to carry out the combat tasks assigned to this officer by their superiors. And how to show that your officer position is high on the battlefield, that is, to put a few ink dots on the collar, so that you can understand everyone's rank at a glance, and you can get self-protection and even continue to kill the enemy in the chaotic battlefield. Jingwen explained.
Li Shimin deduced it in his mind for a long time. I was finally sure that this method would work. Because there is chaos on the battlefield, if you can decide on the command in advance, and even in the chaos you can have a clear command, then this is really helpful for the battle. Many ancient battlefields once retreated. Then it's a complete mess, and this is actually because you can't find a commander on the battlefield, and then once you retreat, there is no organized retreat, so it's a complete rout.
"Then how do you create this rank?" Li Shimin asked.
Jingwen thought for a moment. almost blurted out the military rank system of the third class and ten grades in later generations. However, Jing Wen immediately thought about it, in this time and space, you can name the lieutenant general and major general of the later generations, and the people of this era must also be able to understand it! So. We have to come up with another way to be able to connect with this plane. If you make it out of thin air, it will be a little appalling, and I'm afraid that people on this plane don't understand where these words came from.
"Your Majesty, we can actually use the military officials to establish the rank. First of all, the platoon commander should be nine pins. However, the nine products are on the nine products, and they are on the nine products, and they are under the nine products. We might as well not directly clarify the grade, the specific grade can depend on which rank you nest. A platoon commander can be designated as a Renyong lieutenant on the ninth grade, or a lieutenant from the ninth grade. We can determine which grade is based on his position, military exploits, and qualifications. For example, if you have just served as a platoon commander, then give him the rank of lieutenant who will accompany him. Once he has actual combat merits, or his qualifications are deep enough, then give him a lieutenant from the ninth grade, or even a higher lieutenant of benevolence. And the captain of the nine grades, we can simply call it a lieutenant, and when necessary, it can be referred to as a second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain. If you have made a great contribution, you can also be promoted to the rank of the military and obtain the second lieutenant from the eighth rank. The captain of the eighth rank can be referred to as a major, the seventh rank is a lieutenant colonel, and the sixth rank is a colonel. And when it comes to Wupin, it is a general. Wupin is a guerrilla general and a ranger general or something, called a major general. Lieutenant General of the fourth rank and Admiral of the third rank. This is the military rank, and your position in the army is determined by your military rank, seniority, and military exploits. In normal times, if the position is subordinate, then obey the superior. Once on the battlefield, it's determined by your status. Jingwen said.
Jingwen actually uses the military rank of the military officer, so that it can be combined with the military rank of later generations. In the Tang Dynasty, military sanguan was mainly an honorary official position, and was often used as an additional official for certain military attachés. This kind of increase is actually a kind of military rank that increases the salary, but this kind of is only available to a small number of people. And Jingwen's meaning is to popularize these additional officers to the whole army, so that in the future, officers will no longer determine their grades according to their positions, but first look at your position, and then use your position to correspond to the approximate military rank, and your actual military rank will determine your grade and related treatment.
